i went to a justice of the peace (look in phone book) write a letter saying that you bought it in best interests from a wrecker (show him the paper work you just put up, and get a receipt to show aswell). JOTP will stamp and sign and you are away, show this to the guy when you go for your VIN. Its not hard... just dont get excited okay dude.

I don't know about a jp. When I got my bike done, all that VTNZ were interested in was their form, the statement from the Police stating that it's of no interest.

Go to your local testing station, get a copy of this form and get it filled out by the cops and you're all good.

It is super easy..........

Get the vin or engine number and go to the police to get the vehicle signed off as no interest to them, ie, it's not stolen.

Take your bike to a certified bike shop to get the brakes measured. Normally costs $100 to $150 depending on the bike shop.

Take both of these bits of paper and proof of purchase along to AA or VTNZ. Job's done, they will check the bike and that's it, you get new plates.

Only catch can be if the vehicle was dereg and noted that it was structural. Then you have to have a certed engineer report saying it's been fixed.

Hope that helps.

cheers mate very helpfuil, so breaks will definately need checking, wondered that...

you only need a cert for the brakes if the bike is after 1990 (from memory, check up). Definetley not for a 1987 bike.

The whole process is simple:
1. The WOF station will give you a form to take to the police (a photo copied form where U state that U are the owner and where the police fill in the blanks saying that it is not stolen and bla bla) Police do not charge for this.
2. Fix up bike to WOF standards. Make sure all lights and indicators have linses with the numbers on (as some of the replacement/after mark ones do not). Make sure the fork seals are OK etc. (Like for any WOF)
3. Take in and fill in form. If U have some papers on that U bought her then take with U, but if not then no worries.
4. They will do the rest and U will pay the $$'s. U now have the bike VIN'ed (if it did not have a VIN plate before. If it did have one, then they use that one). U also now have a WOF.
5. Now the owner (can be U or someone else) pays for the registration and gets a new plate. Minimum for 6 months. This does not have to be done at same time. U can take bike home after the VIN process if U for ex. have done up bike for sale and do not want it regoed in your name.

No need to sweat here. And I have always found the guys/gals at the VTNZ very friendly and helpful

All the best.
